   Ep# 341 A Very Special Interview w/ Derek Walter

   Animals have a way of taking us places in life we never expected. That's exactly what happened to my guest Derek Walter when a "micro pig" entered his life and soon became a 650 lb. pig with the intelligence of a small child. Esther The Wonder Pig became an internet sensation as her dads shared her 11 year life's journey with the world. The world is better having had Esther in it and the same goes for her dad Derek. Listen in as he tells funny stories about Esther, what the "Esther Effect" was, how she changed veterinary medicine in Ontario and what palliative care looked like for Esther. And stick around right to the end as I reveal what lies ahead for this podcast. To join my email list, go to www.juliesquires.net.

   What's "Best" For Animals

   Animal workers are deeply passionate and can carry strong opinions about what’s “best” for animals. The problem is that judgment creeps in, hijacks your nervous system and narrows your options to choose empathy and compassion instead of judgement. In this episode, we swap judgment for steadiness with a quick pause-and-reset and “what else could be true?” prompts that pair compassion with accountability, so you leave with tiny practices that calm your body and open better paths for animals and people.
